1965 ALF 900 Series Aero Chief 90 Quint from
Suffern, NY

The second Aero Chief quint went to Suffern, NY.
If you compare this rig to the first quint, you will notice that
this one has a lower profile. The cab roof is notched out so the
boom can be carried
lower. This option allowed the truck to fit into older stations
with short doors.
